I am just getting started on the Internet. I am retired now. There is quite a rich diversity of information in blogs so I am getting involved and commenting. I think that you have to put some attention on a blog to bring it above the dry and boring verbag

Thank you for another fantastic post. The place else may just anybody get that type of info in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I'm on the search for such information.

either she was playing it up to plug her own charity for Conan or she really has issues. Sounds pretty paranoid to me, "The closer I got [to the date], I was like, this could actually turn out really bad, " Pyyycho...

Without knowing what this guy deserved to be treated this way, I can't judge but Charlize is said to be OCD so she might be just a little creepy herself. Pretty girl don't get me wrong but I wouldn't jump to conclusions. She makes it sound like she was treated like an escort or something...

I always thought she was a nice lady but she sounds pretty snobbish about this. Maybe it was awkward and all but she could just keep that to herself. Now all I will think when I see her in anything is how pretentious she is.

These are the same famous people who go on and on and on about how their private lives should stay private. They all go bonkers about THEIR personal lives being played out in the media, but they'll throw anyone under the bus for a talk show spot when their career has been dead for years. Reminds me of the pampered rich kids at the Country Club I worked at. They couldn't own up to their pot smoking so they pinned it on the Mexican guy who couldn't speak English on the grounds crew and got him fired. Their parents knew their kids did it and they let the poor guy get fired. Typical of the rich and Famous. Nice work Charlize. Really graceful. Now maybe you'll get enough buzz to be semi famous again. Maybe you can do a B-movie script with Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan and Charo.

So she decided before the date the person would be creepy. And brought friends along for the date. Maybe he was creepy because you treated him like a serial killer. And decided to add two other people to the bill. When this guy thought he would get to chat with someone who I have to assume he was a big fan of. You site no reason why he was creepy...Maybe he was just nervous, you shallow hag.
What was he going to do attack you in the middle of a classy restaurant. It's not like you met in a dark parking lot.
Now you have completely humiliated him, since anyone who knows me knows about the date. Nice work...go date some shallow Hollywood type who will treat you like garbage.

So she made a mistake in agreeing to have dinner with a stranger and her own life experience might make her more distrustful than others might be. Her heart was in the right place in being willing to help the charity, but she has now come to realize how she helped wasn't the smartest thing to do.

What is more surprising to me and much more interesting is that lunch with Warren Buffet was auctioned off for nearly 3.5 million. That someone has that kind of money to just throw away for a lunch date speaks volumes on what is wrong with this country, particluarly in light of the average persons net worth having fallen from some $126,000 at the begining of this economic collapse and as of 2010 it was down to an average net worth of some $77,000.

It's none of your business how much money anyone has or what they choose to spend it on. Maybe you should worry a little more about bettering yourself and improving your own bottom line and less about what everyone else has. Didn't your mommy ever teach you that?

Evn , let me get this straight , a person has success, enough of it that they decide to give back 3.5 million dollars to dharitble causes , so instead of applauding it , you choose to make it an example of what is wrong with America.

Who appointed you to judge how a person chooses to spend their own money. The money goes to a worthy charity anyway.
In some ways it is sanctimonious people like you who are what is wrong with America.

EVN: I think it's a pretty great thing that someone in this country can make enough money to donate $3.5 million in exchange for lunch with Warren Buffet. I might only have a 0.01% chance of becoming a multi-millionaire but I would rather have a 0.01% chance here than a 0% chance in some other country.

As for Charlize whoever and her date. Maybe he was creepy. Maybe she just wasn't comfortable with the whole thing from the beginning. If she didn't feel safe going in though, she should have called it off and picked up the tab. Don't just go accusing a guy of being creepy because you didn't want to go on the date in the first place.

Ok, so I watched the video (did any of you really watch it?)...and am not sure why everyone's panties are in a wad. She's saying the situation was creepy! And who cares if she said the guy was weird?? Maybe he was!
I get the feeling that those calling her names and dissing her are a. homely women or b. men she'd never dream of dating. She's freaking gorgeous and seems perfectly nice..."cold"? No.

I don't see how her going on this date was too different from people going on a date w/someone they've met online. I think it kind of stinks that she bad-mouthed the date on national TV – like another commenter stated, she should have just kept it to herself. What if the poor guy she went on the date with thought it went alright? Unless he attacked or embarrassed her in public, she shouldn't have embarrassed HIM on television...

Ok, she totally comes off as a spoiled brat in this video, I'll give you that. Especially if she wants pity.

But c'mon – seriously? How many of y'all have been asked out by someone you think is alright only to find out at dinner that they're horrible? And they're not being completely monsterous, so you can't just up and leave, but you're sitting there the entire meal horrified by how rude (or crass or immature or whatever) they are. If I were in her place and the guy acted like a total creep, I'd call him out on national TV too. It's not like she revealed his name, and maybe it'll make the dude realize he was being a dick. Also – this guy? If he really wanted to "do good", he could've just given the money to charity without receiving anything but a hefty tax break in return.

Right on....she had the talent why not use it course the other side of that could have gone like this "for a million dollars I shall give you if you sleep with me one time..tonight" I am sure that might have got her attention.

That is no exaggeration. CNN posted results from a study that showed rich people don't think of being unethical or immoral as "cheating" or taking advantage of others as wrong, they believe if there is an advantage, it is their right to take it and come out ahead. It's a survival-of-the-fittest thing.

Actually she DID say he was creepy at the end. I totally get where she's coming from, that she put herself in a potentially dangerous situation (and maybe more so, since she is a celebrity...can you imagine if John Hinckley won a charity auction to go to dinner with Jodie Foster? Yikes. However I do think it was very uncharitable for her to say that her date, specifically was creepy. Or maybe she said weird. At any rate, she could easily have kept it at the general level, talking about safety and compromising situtations, without hurting this guy's feelings on national TV.

I would dare guess that most of us have been on one creepy date in their life. She should have just kept it to herself. It was for charity, and dinner with her was the prize. She agreed to it, so just suck it up. She doesn't have to go out with him again. Why try to embarass him on national tv? That was kind of low class for her to do.

How sad is that! She might be a good actress, but she came across as very cold and unapproachable in this interview. It's like she decided to play the victim without anything happening. The guy probably is thinking something like, "I donated to a charity for this date she volunteered to go on, and she's being very flighty and cold around me." Unlike her opinion, it's not just about her.

Charlene, I am a great fan of yours but this time you need to check yourself. You volunteered for this full aware and expecting the good and bad. You got the bad but no harm no foul you are safe, not hurt so quit whining and blame your bad date on your decision to volunteer.

She had decided he was creepy well before she got there. If some male heartthrob had said something equivalent about a woman who donated to a charity to have dinner with him, you women would be screaming bloody murder. Further proof you want advantage, not equality.

Boy are you all hard on her! Did you all go on that date with her? Guys CAN be creepy sometimes. Just because she did this for a good cause, doesn't mean she's just up there trashing a regular person. I believe her. He must have been a real creep. Lighten up on trashing the celebs. They're not all crazy, on drugs or whatever you all think.

Seems she decided in advance that it was creepy and he may have actually been a totally normal person she was viewing through some "i expect to see a creep so I will" filter. People go on dates with people they barely, or even don't know, all the time. Thousands of times a day around the country, I'd wager. That she went from auctioning herself off for charity to "rich people can rape" because she had a single awkward date that she seemed pre-determined would be awkward...it is classless.

What a shock, she's a jerk. She volunteered to do something good and then goes on TV to trash the person who spent money to also do good.
I never comment on these things, and only watched this particular one because she's such a turn off to me and for some reason I wanted additional confirmation. Thank you for giving that Charlize... will never spend one cent to see a movie with her name in the credits.
